firmly over this, then a square of

The trouble between France
and Siam is becoming interesting
Russia has decided to stand by-
France, and China will come to
the rescue of Siam. The pros-
is good also for England to
join Siam and China. Russia has
already sent a fleet to aid France.
The ultimatum sent by France to
Siam with only forty-eight hours
to answer it may not be heeded
under the circumstances.
The dispute arose from the
fact that France persisted in
the river in Siam
with a warlike fleet Siam resist-
ed and fired upon the French
fleet. The French have demand-
ed a heavy indemnity and gives
but a short time to accede to
their demands. This little con-
seems like to involve the
dragons of China, the lions of
England and the Russian
bears. If war results its
must of necessity be
tic as already the most powerful
nations of Asia and Europe are
involved and this would as a
consequence the
affair all of their allies. War is
always horrible but when two
countries are involved such as
this at present promises to be
the would be appalling.

WASHINGTON LETTER
our Regular Correspondent
Washington July
Secretary is again on
duty, having returned from the
ten day vacation which is
the only one he will get for
many long months to come, as the
general belief, fully shared by
himself, is that he has now en-
upon a long period of the
hardest work of his life. His
department deals exclusively with
the two great questions that will
occupy the time of
tariff and it is his
desire to be prepared to furnish
all of the information on both
subjects that will from time to
time be asked for from the time
that Congress takes up these
until it disposes of them,
and when that will be is a
drum that no wise man will try
to answer at this time.
Not the slightest bit of a sen-
was caused by the alleged
news, received here early in the
week, of the disabling of the 8-
S- by a shot from a
poaching sealer flying the Hit
flag, for the very simple
reason that nobody believed a
word of it. The department has
had reports from sea
dated a month later than when
the alleged disabling took place,
which make no mention whatever
of any such incident That's why
nobody believes the story.
The number of pensioners ab-
dropped from the roll
since March last is bat in
the period have been
suspended, pending further in-
Judging from past
experience in such cases it is es-
that a large majority of
the latter will finally be dropped.
The work of examination is being
as rapidly in possible
and will be confined for a long
time to pensions granted under
the act of 1890.
Now that Secretary Lamont has
taken a years lease on the
Washington residence the
the
pay
j mongers will probably cease start-
i stories of his intended early
retirement from the Cabinet He
will live in good company as his
house is next door to that of Sen
and within a stone's
throw of the White House- The
Secretary came here this week to
consult with Secretary
regard to several matters under
. tho State department which were
i when the President left
; town, and while here he signed
the lease for his house. Although
accompanied by Mrs- Lamont
whose face is almost as well
known as his own the Secretary
spent several hours in Washing
ton and got safely away before
the newspaper men knew of his
visit. However, it would not have
made much difference, as Lamont
is a past-master in the art of talk-
without saying anything
which Talleyrand said was the
first requirement of diplomacy.
During the short time Secretary
Lamont remained in town he
found to decide that Army
officers who desire to attend the
World's Fair must pay their own
fare like other people, and that
permissions granted officers to
attend the fair do not carry free
transportation- While this will
upset the plans of numerous Army
who have been calculating
to take in the big show at Uncle
Sam's expense its justness is man-
to all. The salary of the
Army officers who will visit
fair go right along and they
should be willing to
their own expenses-
attorney General has
been accused of not looking very
favorably upon the practical side
of politics, i. e., putting out the
opposition and putting in
of his own party, but before
leaving Washington for a short
vacation he showed that
to have been undeserved by
notifying a number of the assist-
ants to the Attorney General with
salaries ranging from to
that their resignations
were desired, and it is stated by
those who know that every re-
publican connected with the De-
of Justice, outside of
the classified service, is to be
made to walk the plank.
A good many guesses have
been printed about the chairman-
ships of the important committees
of the next House, and one of
them was that Representative
Bland would not again be chair-
man of the Coinage committee.
Now, it can be stated upon excel-
lent authority and without
confidence that
Mr. Bland will be chairman of
that committee in the next House,
unless he declines to serve again,
and there is no apparent reason
why he should do that.
Speaker Crisp is not expected
here until about August two
days before Congress assembles
and a movement is now on foot
to postpone the democratic House
caucus for the nomination of
until the morning of the 7th
as it will only require a few min-
for it to transact its business
The canvass for
Doorkeeper is going on quiet
and all of the candidates are
claiming to be safe. There is
practically no contest for the
other Postmaster

Reply to Mecklenburg Alliance.
Near Black Mountain, N. C,
July 1893.
R. W- Elliott, Esq., Sec
Mecklenburg Co. Alliance
have received a copy of
the resolution of Mecklenburg
Alliance, adopted at a recent
meeting, urging Senators and
Representatives to stand by the
present silver purchasing law
some satisfactory substitute
shall be adopted.
I observed this action with
great pleasure, for two reasons
In the first place, it is the
of one of the most valuable
and legitimate functions by which
the Alliance can be made to sub-
serve the interest of the farmers
tho concentration of their whole
influence upon the issues of the
day. In view of the notorious
fact of combinations among all
other branches of industry and in
every form of capital, I years ago
urged upon our agricultural class-
es importance of such organ
as would enable them to
make their vast bat widely scat
and disjointed strength felt,
promptly and efficiently, in
Now, the preservation of
silver as a part of our currency is
one of the most vital of all the is-
sues which our people have been
called upon to decide for half a
century. The enemies of silver
money have displayed a wonder-
sagacity in their tactics.
Though scattered throughout the
civilized world they have obeyed
a single voice from headquarters
in London. From New the
word comes down the line to all
American capital and the response
is immediate- What is known as
the Sherman law is the only
on our statute books which
binds as to the use of silver, and
the cry is raised for its re-
peal under various all
equally false- The banks, stock
brokers, bond-holders, chambers
of commerce, et id genus,
clamor for its repeal and urge the
calling of an extra session of Con-
to assemble and sit daring
the dog days for that purpose
alone. Tariff repeal, which form-
ed chief issue of the past cam-
is throat to the rear and the
interest of capital is placed in
front, to be dealt with under the
demoralizing conditions of a
fraudulent panic created by
itself and called by Mr.
banker's
Under these alarming
stances I have listened, and most
in vain, for the voice of the
Alliance sounding their
opinions and wishes and of those
they represent, composing folly
of the nation ; giving the
feeble and vacillating among pol-
to understand what they
had to expect if they betrayed the
people's this great
question- The action of your
Alliance is the first official utter-
on the subject I have seen
in the State. It is time your or-
was bringing every atom of
its influence to bear. It should
use every means possible to let it
be known that there is yet
and entirely different w in
the fields and homes toil,
whose interests demand
as well as that combination
of money dealers, stock-brokers,
gamblers and speculators who
assume for themselves to con
the
of the land. The effect of this
prompt and united action cannot
possibly be doubted.
In the next place I was to
read the resolutions of Alli-
because they concurred
with my own most serious con-
Many years ago, after
as thorough and impartial an ex-
of the question as
was capable of making, I came to
the absolute conclusion that the
use of silver as well as gold, on
equal terms, as basis of our
currency was best for the welfare
of the people of the United States.
This view has governed my
course in Congress. The fact
that nature sometimes yielded
more of one metal than of the
other, thus causing a discrepancy
in their intrinsic values, did not
disturb me; for I learned from
history that for nearly three
years daring which a ratio
between the two metals was fixed
by laws, the fluctuations in
sic value had never exceeded
per cent, and that soon after that
law was withdrawn great and ma-
fluctuations immediately
began, which will doubtless con-
so long as we treat one met-
as of fixed and standard value
and the other as a commodity. It
is not necessary to go over all the
grounds in which my conviction
was founded. I simply wish to
assure you that my opinions are
unchanged-
Recent developments which
seem to have unsettled so many
silver advocates and make them
give way to the repeal of the
Sherman law, has rather strength-
me in the determination to
yield nothing to the mono-metal-
whose schemes I regard as
absolutely selfish and unpatriotic.
The so industriously ad-
is known now to have
been created by them; and will
be known hereafter as the rich
man's panic; the explosion of the
Indian bomb is already discount-
ed as tho grasping by the govern-
of the profits of coining
rupees which heretofore had
been reaped by British merchant s.
The coining will go on as largely
as ever, only the Indian govern-
will pocket the per cent
gain and not the merchants.
England does not dare to demon-
silver in India, which alone
makes her demonetize it at home-
There is not spare gold enough
in the world to replace the
of silver in that country.
The attempt to do so would
bankrupt half of Christendom
and England well knows it The
suggestion is pure bluff, and can
only disturb a politician who
holds a very weak hand- Nor
have the allegations so distress-
shouted that the Sherman
law was causing oar gold to leave
the country had any effect on me.
From the beginning I knew them
to be false. Gold went oat be-
cause we owed it abroad and the
balance of trade was against us.
Shipments of wheat have turned
the tide and it is now coming in.
Some of our securities did come
home and take off gold in pay-
but this hurt nobody ex-
speculators in them, who
were fearful that the price would
fall and they would lose money.
But even those which did come
from abroad came in consequence
of the scare got up by our own
capitalists. Of course foreigners
believed the stories of the ruin
and bankruptcy if the Sherman
law was not repealed, which our
own people told them.
Finally, I hope it is
for me to say that the hope
of ingratiating myself with the
administration in order to secure
patronage at its hands, has in no
sense affected my opinion of
right in the premises- How far
such a motive may operate in the
repeal of that law I have no means
of knowing- I however,
it will not go a great way. But
let things go as as they may, it
shall be my earnest endeavor to
do my maintaining the
cause of the people by preserving
the character of their money and
increasing its abundance.
Very truly yours,
Z. B. Vance.

One year ago, when the present
Board of Directors of the
tic and North Carolina railroad
under the superb administration
of President Chadwick, declared
a per cent dividend on the en-
tire capital stock of the company,
resulting in a revenue of
to the State from her stock in the
road, it was the marvel of the year,
because this road, which had
been operated for thirty-three
years under passing
of more or less business
and in thrifty times, had
never before declared a dividend,
and all hope of its ever declaring
one under State management had
long since vanished from
the minds of even the most
sanguine. Bat there it was,
a dividend of two per cent,
and it took in round
to pay it, leaving however,
still in the treasury of the
company and this after baying
and paying cash for two fine new
locomotives, two new first-class
passenger cars, a superb parlor

Readers of the Reflector know how
anxious we have long been for Green-

Hotel Nicholson, at Washington the
other day we could but wish that this
town had as excellent a hotel building
as that. It is a handsome three-story
brick building, conveniently located,
well furnished, and spreads an excellent

proprietors, know how to make their
house popular and secure a large pat-

was for years numbered among our
leading business men and always car-

towns could equal. Now that lie is to
return to a business of the same kind

that he formerly enjoyed. Our readers

Good Crops.
Mr. W. W. Little, told us
yesterday that the crop prospects in his
immediate neighborhood are at this time
the best he has noticed in
the war. During the last three weeks
there has been a wonderful improvement
in all crops. He also told us that from
seeding one barrel of Irish potatoes this
spring he harvested a crop that paid
him forty dollars, and now the same
half-acre in a flourishing crop of sweet
potatoes from which he expects to reap
as much more. Tin- is just one of the
many incidents that show what
farming will do. and that more
money can be made
else than cotton.

evening was in many re-
the most brilliant and entertain-
one ever known at the Atlantic

thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed.
One was a gorgeous Japanese
planned by Mrs. T. J. Jarvis, and
ranged with the assistance of the many
lady guests. One side of the grand
ball room was transferred into an
booth of ornamental net work,
into which was interwoven a profusion
of evergreens and flowers. Gorgeous
lanterns were made to
give forth light of every hue, and
this a number of young ladies

During the evening Mrs. J. B. Cherry,

songs with orchestral accompaniment.
This was a most delightful part of the
Institutes.
The Institutes for white and
colored arc being held here this week,
and both are well attended. The one
for the white teachers is conducted in
the Court House, and besides daily
sessions exercises of some kind will be
had each night. Profs. Alexander
ham, of Charlotte, and M. C. S. Noble,
of Wilmington, arc the conductors of
these Institutes. The State has been
exceedingly fortunate in the selection
of these gentlemen as teachers. Those
who have attended the Institutes con-
ducted formerly by Profs. mid
Alderman had about reached the con-
that they could never have any
successors who wire so nearly born

nothing in saying that those who have
heard Profs. Graham and Noble are
fully that their mantles have
fallen on worthy shoulders, and every
North Carolinian ought to feel proud
that within our borders such
distinguished educators. These
have made their life work teaching
and have not failed. to grow ripe with
their experience and observation. We
congratulate the teachers of Pitt county
upon the privilege they have in attend-
the present Institutes. Many w the
citizens of the town are as regular in
attendance upon the meetings as the
teachers are and seem not less interested
It is specially desired that as many as
possible of the citizens of the county
shall be here on Friday as this day will
be devoted entirely to matters which
all ought to be thoroughly interested.
We hope to see a very large gathering
at this time. Don't forget to be here
on Friday.
